thunder shirts Has anyone tried the thunder shirts ? He will not stop barking during thunder and we have tried a lot of things and nothing seems to help |
We used the thunder shirt on Callie who would shake, pant, and pace during thunder storms. We put it on her for every thunder storm for a month or two and then one time I didn't to see how she would do and she wasn't scared at all and still is not its amazing! |
There are a lot of people who have used the Thundershirt including myself. You need to put it on before the storms start for it to work best. Also, I add a dose of Rescue Remedy and that does the trick. Here's a thread that has a great discussion about them. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...p-anxiety.html |
It really helped Pixie last year when she suddenly developed a fear of thunder. I also give her a calming supplement from the vet and together they work great. |
Didn't work at all for my Mini, not in the slightest. Tried to leave it on for a few hours before storms etc, nothing. I took it back to the store. I have found that pajamas (with all four long sleeves) do calm her tremendously. I have heard if it works, it works great. My suggestion is to keep your receipt, it is a pricey item that you can return. Good Luck |
I haven't used Bella's enough to know. From what I've read it will take a bit for them to get the idea of it. I bought one for my daughters 100 lber, for Christmas and they have used it on her and daughter said Cally calmed with it. |
I think I will try it. Something has to work :) thanks |
It's Worth a Try Prince, my 6 pound YorkiPoo, used to shake uncontrollably during thunderstorms. Now when he hears thunder I get the thundershirt and he starts jumping with excitement. At the first sign of a thunderstorm I put the shirt on him and hold him in my arms for a minute, until the shaking subsides. He usually goes to his bed and lies down and ignores the noise from outside. It may not work for all dogs, but I would definitely recommend it. :thumbup: |
I bought the thunder shirt (in pink) for my Razael a year or more ago to have on hand in case of thunder here in CA. (which is rare) but mainly to take on trips to other states. I ended up useing it on her when we traveled in the motor coach till she got use to it. It works!! I take it everywhere we go. Razael is a high strung girl that needs to be held close at times. ;) |
I forgot to put in that I did use it once during a thunder storm and she didn't seem to be bothered by the thunder, and that thunder was right over us going away very slow. It was so loud that it scared me. lol. She tried to nap, and would just look up each time it would bang, which was every few seconds for quite awhile. That shirt is amazing. I'd rather put that on her than hold her. I don't want them to think the noise is bad, and to add to any anxiety. We haven't had thunder since then. |
It works great for Teddy. He was fine outside while it was thundering and lightening but as soon as we came inside and he heard rain and hail on the roof he started whining and shaking. It will still work if you put it on after the storm starts but it takes a minute to calm down. He is sleeping at my side right now and its storming outside with plenty of lightening and thunder. Some LOUD thunder just cracked overhead and he just lifted his head up for a sec and then went back to sleep. Works like a charm for teddy! |
Love, love, lIove the Thunder Shirt. Ian would always vomit in the car, even on short trips. I didn't want to give him meds every time we went for a ride, so I bought this shirt (thanks to a yt'er on another thread). Ian has not vomited once since he started wearing it. |
While in her pull behind bike carrier, Molly vomits and poos. Would a thundershirt help? |
